Amino Acids

Are the individual building blocks of proteins. Most of the amino acids needed to make proteins for the body can be made by the body.

Amino Acids are also used to make hormones and neurotransmitters such as epinephrine, serotonin, norepinephrine and thyroid hormone as well as important elements such as nucleic acid found in DNA.
